Ordinary Day 04:24
Why do the days come and go? Days come and go I lay your head to the stone Concrete and bone, and move right along I want to let you in I need to make amends Out lost in waning winds Meant for us My arms a shield to the storm Shield to the storm And when at last, they yield to the shame At the end of an ordinary day Will I see them go I want to let you in I need to make amends Out lost in waning winds But you are already gone
2.
Lost Coast 04:33
There’s nothing more to say I’ve nothing more to give Go on about your day You always chose to live I’ll fall in love someday Someone to hold your hand Stranger to call your name Someone to take the blame I am a lonely man Living on ocean’s head Sand slipping through my hands Coral reef for a bed I’ve done my time out there Filling my head with air Now I can finally lay Silent beneath the waves
3.
Push Back 04:52
Stay alone Trapped inside your head Pondering Things you never said Magistrate Listen to their lies Holographic Ever long you wait Darkest mirror on the shadow I could not devise Darkest mirror showing signs of life I can't describe Running running running running running for your life Don't resist Pixelated dreams Black hole hard drive Fading into time Darkest mirror on the shadow I could not devise Darkest mirror showing signs of life I can't describe

Out there, Endlessly, riches found, everyone forced to gather around That unvoiced sound Silence, Symmetry, salty skies, trapped inside but they never ask why Oh why Chocolate Hill, All our worries fade away until Sweetness has eclipsed the house we made Holds us to our families memory Flickers like a flame that keeps us bound Always thinking that we're on our way home Each day To remind them the words, sing it but that lullaby's already been heard Paradise turned Stasis, No time to wonder why they chants they sang could never be learned Those thoughts were burned Chocolate Hill, All our worries fade away until Sweetness has eclipsed the house we made Holds us to our families memory Flickers like a flame that keeps us bound Always thinking that we're on our way home

Rad Angel 05:10
I’m a warden for the man Waiting on the stair I’m an anthill in your hair Preaching life and death To the lover on your bed All moments bled On the shoelaces you wear Oh no! How many times to fall? Walk off the ledge again So many legs to break I’ve been living in a well Four damn years And I used the drops of dew To hydrate my waterbed To the legacy you led All moments bled On the shoelaces you wear No! How many times to fall? Walk off the ledge again So many legs to break

Wake Up 00:47
7.
Every lover wrote their name to find Every other on their way to my Darkened charnel, to rest Every ancient memory I sustain Every single moment I embrace Like my fool's gold It lives in an empty lot That could grow old Like all of my weakened ways I could always unfold I sought the consequences only To collapse in a field of crows Endless and overgrown Struck by the moonlight rays That touched your face It lives in an empty lot That could grow old Like all of my weakened ways I could always unfold I sought the consequences only To collapse in a field of crows Endless and overgrown Struck by your moonlit gaze Take my hand Take my soul Take my name
8.
Dialysis 05:51
Your fear of death is But the trembling of the shepherd where he stands Before the king whose head Is to be laid upon his empty hands laid bare On Dialysis Empty feelings pooling from the blood For What Is To- I see you disparate When the earth could claim your limbs and You could truly- But I still remember you Evenings wasted, sundials rusting through Wake up, Wake up Stop your breathing For what it is to- For what it is to- Stand alone out in the wind only to melt In the sun I spoke into those bleak desires Solace in the forever withered Stronger than the ground you walk in deep design Seedling of another world inside your silence
